Do not encourage beggars.

Don’t trust strangers with money. Trust your hotel, but not people you may bump into on the streets.

It is advisable to cover yourself with travel insurance for thefts, loss and medi-claim.

Carry proper maps of the places proposed to visit in Nepal, as signboards are often absent. Try to reach a station during daytime if traveling on your own. In any case avoid persistent touts and taxi-drivers at airport/stations/bus stand to help you find your hotel. Always use tourist assistance desk for proper advice.
